Immediately post-weaned male rats were singly housed and were assigned to one of four experimental diets for 21 days (n = 20) including a control (standard) chow, high fat, high fiber, and high protein, low carbohydrate diet. a Taxonomic distribution of major identified bacteria taxa (at the class level) immediately post-weaning and after 21 days on the assigned experimental diet with values representing the average relative abundance across all samples within the indicated group. b 16 S rRNA gene surveys (analyzed by weighted UniFrac-based PCoA) from immediately post-weaned animals and after 3-weeks on a control (blue), high-fat diet (green), high protein, low carbohydrate (pink), and high-fiber diet (yellow). Principle coordinates 1 and 2 (PC1, PC2) are the x- and y-axis, respectively, and are scaled on the basis of percent variance with PC3 depicted by the shading of each point
